Not officially coming out of Twitter retirement, but had to gloat about @goforward closing: fiercehealthcare.com/health-…
In 2018, investor @rabois & I had a spirited debate about their "innovation" replacing PCPs. That fun thread w/ him calling all docs useless luddites here.
Also, Forward, to my understanding, has not invented a single new med technology. They are just measuring basic vitals and commonly available test and presentation get them in a “futuristic” format. Maybe some value in that but they don’t have tricorder!

Anyone who asserts we don’t use tech is clueless. And any doctor is highly unlikely to understand data.

This is a terrifying thread, but such a projection of a future massive surge in dementia at a “young” age related to metabolic syndrome isn’t far-fetched.

Dear Twitter friends,
I just want to alert you on something that may be an inflexion point in our children’s lives.
The more I continue doing research in the mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of T2 Diabetes (T2D) the more we see the relationship w/ mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s

What’s it say to us that a company with a market cap of $2.3T flush with an insane amount of cash can’t figure out how to deliver next generation primary care with game-changing quality and outcomes for even their own employees?

Perhaps this is why practicing primary care is so darn hard?

People were given the choice to sit quietly with their thoughts for 15 minutes or else self-administer painful electric shocks to themselves
67 percent of men and 25 percent of women choose to electrocute themselves

Bought my son a very lightly used @StateBicycleCo All-Road bike for his 12th birthday. For the price, I thought it was a pretty sweet rig. But after a couple weeks of riding, the crank thread for pedal was completely stripped. He is either a stud or very poor machining!

So the UK’s main vaccine advisory panel is NOT going to recommend a COVID vaccine to most kids under 16 yo (for now). 🤔
So honest question:
Does this make the Brit experts anti-vax and/or morons? theguardian.com/society/2021…

it’s almost like there is a group of PCPs that has been saying this for well over a decade (and been frequently labeled as naive or crazy) #directprimarycare

Getting simple medical care can cost more with insurance than without. Here are the prices insurers and hospitals didn't want you to see. nyti.ms/383XhPB
